Grumpiness

My dad is always grumpy...at home that is. Once he's at Disney, he's a changed man.

I agree with all. How can anyone be grumpy at Disney? Leave Grumpy at home!

I know. I understand that people can get stressed out, but that isn't an excuse for total grumpiness or rudeness.

I think that's a slightly naive statement to make. OK if you're only at WDW for a few days, and it's just you and friends/adult family... but we're taking a trip for 14 days with 3 under 5s. We can't just "stay at home" if someone goes out grumpy. If the kids have a meltdown (I'm expecting at least 3 a day then we'll go back to the hotel, but that's all we can do really. And I strongly suspect that the patience of some of the adults will be tested, although I really hope that none of us will turn into the swearing ogres who scream at their kids like some of the people you see at the "happiest f***ing place on earth", LOL!

I must admit that after 8 days on my last trip I was overtired and in a foul mood but as soon as I got to the parks it went away and I was happy me again and that was without any kids!!

Well that's understandable with all of those little kids, so if I see a large family with little kids all having a meltdown, i'll know why and i'll just walk by be glad it's not me

I've found so many more guests who fit the name of the 8th dwarf - Nasty.

We've met people like that too. It's worse than Grumpy, because if one is Grumpy, one is probably having a bad day, which seems kind of rare at WDW. If one is Nasty, I firmly believe in the phrase "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it all!" This is true especially in a park setting. Some basic manners and simple politeness go a very long way.
